The annual LEGO Star Wars sale on May 4th (“May the Force…” — you get the idea) is upon is. The pickings are a bit slim this year, but you get free shipping on all orders over $75 and various gifts with purchase — R2-D2 poster, TC-14 minifigure, etc.

The Lego web site is showing the Imperial Shuttle as ‘sold out’. I guess maybe this was an opportunity for Lego to clear out their inventory. It doesn’t seem like the model has been out that long, but then I don’t remember when they released it. I was kinda hoping they’d discount the R2 D2, but then as new as it is…

^ Nope, still a TLG issue. The only reason TBB has any kind of advertising like this is to pay the bills. TLG has affiliate programs for the US, Canada, and UK, but nowhere else. The news applies, but the links are only for countries where TLG has created an affiliate program.
